3.1

SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The system provides control and monitoring of functions at two single point mooring
buoys from a land-based operator station or from mobile portable units. Communication
between the remote location, the operator station and the portables is via half duplex
UHF radio links.
The system consists of nine separate installations
Base Station ~ runs SCADAplus application software
MMI ~ operator interface and display.
Remote Radio ~ communications to buoys.
SPM130 and SPM250 Turntable RTUs ~ monitoring of hawser load, product
pressure and RTU supply voltage, control of foghorn and load cell remote
calibration.
SPM130 and SPM250 Hull RTUs ~ monitoring of hydraulic accumulator and nitrogen
pressures, RTU supply voltage and surge tank level switches and control and
sensing of PLEM valve position.
SPM130 and SPM250 Portable Units ~ operator interface and display and control of
valves and emergency shutdown (ESD).
The buoy systems are powered by gel electrolyte lead-acid batteries which are charged
in the turntable enclosure by a solar power supply mounted on the enclosure roof. The
turntable system batteries in-use are charged continuously while those in the hull must
be cycled through the charging system in the turntable enclosure on a regular basis.
The hull RTU system has a very low power consumption which ensures that the
recharge change-out period is approximately 30 days dependant on usage and
environmental factors.
Warning: refer to section 8.3
The on-shore located base station is powered from 220v ac mains.

TELEMETRY COMPONENTS

3.2.1 OCP Terminal Base Station


The telemetry base station acts as a data gateway between the two single point
mooring buoys and the on-shore control system (provided by others). The base
station communicates with the buoys over a single UHF radio frequency using a time
division protocol. The base station communicates to the existing control system via
a Modbus RTU serial link. All data from the buoys is available on this link.
The base station equipment consists of three parts:
3.2.1.1
Operator Station (MMI)
The Operator Station provides a graphical display of the data for each buoy which
includes:

Real time mooring hawser tension (with alarms)

Real time and historic Trend (line) graph of hawser tension

Real time product pressure (with alarms)

Real time and historic Trend (line) graph of product pressure

Surge relief tank level (alarm)

Nitrogen pressure

Real time display of the remaining residual strength in the mooring hawser
(see below)

Historical Event List of all events, warnings, and alarms

Centre-well valve position with OPEN-CLOSE command

HPU accumulator pressure

HPU local/remote control

Fog horn on/off control

Mooring hawser load pin loop test function (calibration)

Diagnostic data on the telemetry system including solar panel charging


current, battery voltage, radio quality
The operator terminal consists of a Windows PC terminal computer with an LCD colour
screen, keyboard, and mouse. The total footprint of the terminal is 350W x 212D x
389H mm weighing 5.8kg.
The operator terminal computer is connected to the base station interface unit via the
supplied 30m Cat5e Ethernet cable. This allows the Operator Terminal to be located in
a convenient position (ie control room desk) while the Base Station interface unit may
be installed on a desk or in an existing equipment cabinet.
Data display and a graphical user interface are provided by the Ocean Technical
Systems Limited SCADAplus application software. The SCADAplus graphical user
interface provides a high level of integration including the monitored data, hawser
residual strength prediction data, and real time tanker berthing screens (if supplied) to
be displayed under a common user interface.

Section 3 : SYSTEM
3.2 : Telemetry Components
3.2.1.2
Base Station interface
The base station interface unit contains the single board PC which runs the
SCADAplus application and serves as a junction box and housing for the various
interfaces between the on shore control system (Modbus link), the remote radio and
the operator terminal
The base station unit is housed in a painted steel cardframe with standard 19 fixings
measuring 483W x 88H x 390Dmm weighing 7.3kg. The unit can be installed on a
desk or in an existing equipment cabinet. All interface cables connect to the unit via
screw terminals mounted on the rear face of the cardframe. The unit is powered by an
external AC power connection (85-264VAC) consuming 50W max.
The base station interface unit contains the following:

Single board PC
Modbus RTU serial port (RS485 9600bps) for the on shore control system
Line driver for connection to the remote radio
Ethernet port for connection to the operator terminal
85-264VAC PSU

3.2.1.3
Remote Radio
As there is no line-of-sight radio path between the control room and the buoy
locations an appropriately placed remote radio installation is used. The unit is sited
on a hill approx 1.5km from the base station. The UHF radio is supplied in a weather
proof junction box suitable for mounting on the antenna mast. The junction box is
connected to the base station interface unit by 1500m armoured cable.
Power to operate the radio and the RS232/485 converter is provided by an 85264VAC PSU. Data is transmitted to the Base Station at 9600bps.
The remote junction box is manufactured in GRP and is weather protected to IP66,
all cables enter the unit via cable glands at the bottom of the junction box.

Section 3 : SYSTEM
3.2 : Telemetry Components
3.2.2 SPM Telemetry Equipment
3.2.2.1
Turntable
The buoy turntable equipment consists of a compact Ocean Technical Systems Limited
SYSTEM III Remote Telemetry Unit and an Exd junction box for terminations housed in
a marine protected outer enclosure. The enclosure is suitable for installation on the
mooring arm of the SPM and provides a high level of mechanical and environmental
protection to the internal electronics. The enclosure is fabricated from mild steel and
painted with several layers of Shell Yellow marine grade paint. All equipment except
solar panels and instrumentation are housed inside the enclosure. A mast is located at
the rear of the enclosure for the antenna providing Base Station communications and a
mounting plate for the fin antenna used in Hull comms. All cables enter the enclosure
via a shrouded gland plate.
The enclosure is approximately 2000 x 800 x 1800 mm in size and may be either
welded or bolted to the turntable structure
3.2.2.2
Hull
The RTU is installed in one of the buoy hull compartments. The unit is a very low
power device powered from a rechargeable battery array and interfaces directly to
pressure sensors, surge tank level switches, and to the hydraulic control system
actuating the control valves.
The hull telemetry unit communicates with the turntable telemetry unit over a low power
radio link which requires low profile fin antennas to be mounted on the deck of the hull
and on the turntable enclosure. The hull antenna feeder cable passes through a
double glanded deck penetration.
The hull RTU is installed in an Exd (flameproof) enclosure with bulkhead mounting
brackets. All interface cables to the RTU enter the Exd enclosure via certified cable
glands.
The RTU has the capacity for a total of 16 inputs (4-20mA) and 8 outputs which may be
configured for a 12V pulse to power solenoid valves.
The unit is powered by 2 off 12V 115Ah valve regulated lead acid batteries housed in
an lockable IP56 galvanised steel enclosure suitable for operation in a Zone 1
hazardous area.
3.2.3 Portable Unit
The PTU is a small battery powered unit containing a UHF transceiver, microprocessor,
and a small 4 line LCD alphanumeric display. It provides the mooring master or pilot on
board the tanker with a display of all the monitored data from the buoy and also
includes an ESD push button which may be used to initiate a pump trip, buoy valve
open/close and foghorn activation.
Two portable units are supplied which can be configured for use at either buoy.

INSTRUMENTATION

3.3.1 SPM Turntable


3.3.1.1
Load Pins
Standard SOFEC 200 tonne load pins and anti-rotation brackets are supplied.
The load pin is classified as intrinsically safe simple apparatus and is suitable for
installation is a Zone 1 hazardous area. It interfaces to the telemetry system via an
intrinsically safe load cell line amplifier and zener barriers.
The load cell cable is connected to the load pin via a wet-mateable connector and is
mechanically protected over its whole length by hydraulic hose supplied with the cable.
To terminate the hose a small IP67 external stainless steel junction box is supplied to
be installed close to the load pins. The junction box contains either one or two load cell
amplifiers (depending on number of load pins) which convert the load cell mv/v signal
into a 4-20mA instrumentation loop for onward transmission to the telemetry unit inside
the outer enclosure.
3.3.1.2
Load Cell calibrate
Each load pin line amplifier has a remote calibration facility. This feature allows the
integrity of the load cell pin gauges, cabling, line amplifier and RTU load channel to be
remotely checked without applying a real mooring load. Electrically, the function works
by switching a pre-calculated resistor across one arm of the Wheatstone bridge in the
load cell pin, which gives rise to an imbalance of 50% of full scale. This feature can
only work if the Wheatstone bridge is intact and so is a valuable test for the system.
This procedure is recommended as part of the regular maintenance check. It should
be noted that when the function is invoked, depending on the settings, alarms may be
generated and the load excursion may appear on the trend plot.
3.3.1.3
Pressure Transmitters
The product pressure is monitored after the swivel by three intrinsically safe, 4-20mA
loop powered, pressure transmitters, suitable for a Class 1 Division 1 hazardous area
in a two out of three voting arrangement.
The pressure transmitters are wired individually to a local junction box which connects
to the turntable telemetry unit by a single length of armoured cable. The RTU derives
the best value of product pressure and transmits actual measured and processed
values to the base station for display.
If any transducer indicates a value outside a predetermined range a discrepancy alarm
is raised.
The instruments are supplied with isolating needle valves, armoured cable and glands.
The process connection, flanges, and all other installation materials are supplied by
others

The product transfers through the hull to the rotating turntable via a product fluid
swivel. A tank has been installed to collect any product that may be released through
the surge valve during pressure surges. Three hazardous area float level switches are
installed in the leak tank which operate when the tank fills above a pre set level. The
float switches are assessed on a two out of three voting arrangement.
The switches are wired individually to a local junction box which connects to the hull
telemetry unit by a single length of armoured cable.
The switches are low current devices which will provide a closing contact on detection
of high level to reduce quiescent current consumption.

POWER SYSTEMS

[2]

3.4.1 Turntable
A high capacity solar power system powers the turntable telemetry system, the on
board navigation equipment (Nav lantern and Fog horn), and provides a recharging
facility for the hull batteries (see below).
A total of six 36W solar panels are mounted in a galvanised steel frame with fixings and
installed on the roof of the outer enclosure. A total of twelve 60AH 12vDC sealed lead
acid batteries are fitted in a separate sealed compartment within the outer enclosure.
The battery voltage and charging current are monitored by the telemetry system and
transmitted to the base station for display.
As the hull telemetry system is powered from rechargeable batteries, a second battery
array is charged in the turntable outer enclosure in preparation for use in the hull. The
charged batteries from the enclosure then replace the discharged batteries from the
hull. Depending on the time of year and instrument loading the batteries will require
recharging approximately every 30 - 40 days. The removable hull batteries are sealed
lead acid gel valve regulated types with integral lifting handles to aid the change-out
process.
3.4.2 Hull
The hull RTU is powered from rechargeable sealed lead acid batteries. Depending on
the time of year and instrument loading the batteries will require recharging
approximately every 30 - 40 days.
The turntable outer enclosure is fitted with a second set of batteries being charged from
its solar power system (see above).
The hull batteries are supplied in a lockable battery box to be installed in the centrewell
of the hull deck or within the hull compartment next to the hull RTU. If the battery box is
mounted in the centrewell a deck penetration for power cable to the RTU will be
required.
The battery voltage is monitored and transmitted to the base station for display.

COMMUNICATIONS
[2]

OVERVIEW

6.1.1 Base Station to Buoy Turntables


The system uses Oceantech RADNET-TDA protocol wherein each location
communicates with the others using time division access. Each radio location (or
node) is allocated a timeslot to transmit its data on a common radio frequency. The
radio then switches to receive and attempts to receive the data transmitted from the
other nodes. During the transmission the node not only transmits its own data but
includes the data received from the other nodes. This has the effect of re-transmitting
the data around the network. If a node could not receive a message directly from one
node it may be able to receive it during the next time slot transmission from a different
node.
Thus the RADNET-TDA communication protocol passes data from one location to the
next ensuring that if one location doesnt receive a message (e.g. due to tanker
obstruction) it will receive it from another location that has a better radio path.
At each node a communication quality figure is generated for each link. If the node is
receiving data from the remote node via all possible paths the quality factor is 100%.
This figure is reduced as a particular path fails. The quality factor is used to signal a
link failure to the SCADA operators.
The RADNET-TDA protocol has been designed to operate on a single radio frequency,
typically in a UHF band (425 to 475MHz at 1W).
Communication parameters are 9,600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, odd parity.
6.1.2 Buoy Turntable to Hull
The hull telemetry unit communicates with the turntable telemetry unit over a low power
radio link which requires low profile fin antennas to be mounted on the deck of the hull
and on the turntable enclosure. The hull antenna feeder cable passes through a
glanded deck penetration.
As the hull antenna is heavily obscured by the SPM structure, the hull telemetry unit
does not form part of the general radio network but communicates exclusively with the
turntable telemetry. Once the turntable unit has received the hull data it then re
transmits it combined with its own data to the rest of the RADNET-TDA network. To the
network the SPM appears as a single unit.
The short range low power protocol operates on a single radio frequency on one of 8
channels in the 433.2 to 434.6MHz (10mW) licence exempt band.
Communication parameters are 9,600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
6.1.3 Base Station to DCS
The SCADA system communicates with a local DCS using the Modbus protocol.
Controls are received from and data passed to the DCS over a two/four wire RS485
link. The Base Station operating as a Modbus Slave at address 1 responds to polls
from the DCS Modbus Master.
Communication parameters are 9,600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Poll rate 5/sec maximum, 1/sec minimum.

6.1.4 Base Station to Remote Radio
The Base Station communicates with the remote radio over a four wire RS485 link.
Communication parameters are as RADNET-TDA.
6.1.5 Portable Unit
The Portable is a RADNET-TDA node which eavesdrops on the main network for data
relating to its associated buoy but only transmits to allow its status to be logged or
when it has a command to send.

LOGIC

7.1.1 Emergency Shutdown


A buoy ESD may be initiated either automatically by conditions detected at the buoy or
manually from the Operator Station or the Portable Unit, or serially by the DCS.
The ESD function will close both centre-well valves at the selected buoy and will be
latched until reset.
Conditions for ESD are as follows:
ESD button pressed at communicating Portable local to buoy
ESD set at Operator Station
ESD sent by DCS Modbus coil
Surge tank level Hi; two out of three voted
Product (surge) pressure Hi; two out of three voted
Nitrogen pressure Lo
Communications failure ~ Base Station/Buoy or Turntable/Hull
The ESD initiate from the Operator Station or the Portable will continue to be
transmitted until an acknowledgment is received from the Buoy that the command has
been received.
The ESD state will be latched at the Hull RTU until reset either from the Operator
Station or the Portable Unit.
An ESD will be initiated regardless of whether the valves are already shut.
7.1.1.1
Operator Initiated ESD
ESD may be initiated at:
The Operator Terminal ~ a soft button is available on the appropriate page of the
operator terminal screen for each SPM.
The Portable Tanker Unit ~ by pressing the ESD and CMD buttons on the front
of the unit. Any given PTU will initiate an ESD only on the SPM to which it has
been assigned at power up.
These commands will be sent as fleeting controls to ensure their reliability.
7.1.1.2
Auto ESD
An Auto ESD will be initiated at the Hull RTU of either SPM on any one of following four
local conditions:
Processed Product Pressure High ~ this will be determined locally based on an
alarm level received from the base station. The ESD Alarm Level for each SPM
is individually setable. A local default value of the alarm level will exist, and will
be the same as the default value for the Base Station. Processed Product
Pressure will be received from the Turntable RTU.
Nitrogen Pressure Low ~ this will be determined locally based on an alarm level
received from the base station. The ESD Alarm Level for each SPM is
individually settable. A local default value of the alarm level will exist, and will be
the same as that for the Base Station.
Processed Surge Tank Level Alarm ~ this will be determined locally from the 3
Surge Tank Level switches.
OCP Ecuador ~ Installation Operation & Maintenance Manual IOM1338 [Issue 2]

Section 7 : OPERATION
7.1 : Logic

Comms failure ~ Loss of comms between Buoy (Turntable) and Base Station or
between Turntable and Hull for more than a preset period adjustable at the Base
Station in the range 0 to 999sec with default of 90sec.

Auto ESD functions, with the exception of initiation by loss of Turntable to Hull comms,
may be set inactive at the Base Station.
A Comms Auto ESD resulting from loss of Base Station to Turntable comms may be
over-ridden from the Portable Unit and then Reset to allow loading to continue under
Portable Unit control. If comms between the Portable Unit and the Turntable is
subsequently lost the ESD state will be re-initiated.
The ESD Alarm Levels received from the Base Station are entered at the Base Station
as any normal (LoLo and HiHi) Base Station analogue alarm levels, and are also used
for analogue alarms at the Base Station.
7.1.1.3
Serial DCS ESD
The DCS can send an ESD demand to the Base Station over the Modbus link by
setting a fleeting control; it will be executed exactly as if the command had originated at
the MMI. No ESD Reset is available to the DCS.
7.1.1.4
ESD Reset
ESD reset is available at the MMI and Portable Units, the DCS has no ESD Reset
capability.
Resetting does not have to be done at the same unit which initiated the original ESD.
ESD may be reset at:
The Operator Terminal ~ a soft button is available on the appropriate page of the
operator terminal screen for each SPM.
The Portable Tanker Unit ~ by executing the correct button sequence on the
ESD screen of the PTU. Any given PTU will reset an ESD only on the SPM to
which it has been assigned at power up.
These commands will be sent as fleeting controls to ensure their reliability.
Note:
ESD Reset can be executed only after the Valve Close command pulse has
completed.
Valves cannot be opened using the Valve controls, from any source, whilst the
ESD state is set.
Execution of ESD Reset will not open the centrewell valves

7.1.2 Product Pressure Discrepancy
7.1.2.1
Surge Pressure Contention Alarm
The three Product Pressure analogue inputs to the Turntable RTU are used to generate
one Processed Product Pressure using a dedicated algorithm implemented at the
Turntable RTU.
The algorithm will:
Calculate the Average of the two closest inputs.
Test that the third input is within a set (programmable) Range of that Average.
If outside that Range, copy the Average to Result, and set the Contention status
point on.
Otherwise, calculate the Average of all three inputs, copy that to Result and set
the Contention status point off.
The Range value is entered as a percentage; 0 99% at the Turntable RTU. The
default value is 5.0%.
Setting the Range value to 0% will cause the average of all three transducers always to
be taken and the alarm never to be set.
7.1.3 Surge Tank Level Contention
7.1.3.1
Level Alarm
The three Surge Tank Level switch inputs at the Hull RTU are used to generate one
Processed Surge Tank Level Status, by means of a 2 out of 3 voting function (F2oo3)
implemented at the Hull RTU.
If 2 of the 3 inputs are On then the Level Alarm is turned On, otherwise the Level Alarm
is Off.
7.1.3.2
Inputs Contention Alarm
When all 3 inputs are in the same state the contention alarm timer is reset.
When any one (or more) of the inputs changes to the other state the timer is started.
If, when the timer has timed out, all three inputs are not in the other state the
contention fault is set.
If, during the timeout period, the changed input(s) revert to their original state, the
contention alarm timer is reset.
The timer can be set from the Hull RTU user interface in the range 0 999 seconds,
with a default of 30 seconds.
Setting the timer value to 0 seconds will cause the contention alarm never to be set.
7.1.4 Centrewell Valves
7.1.4.1
State Interpretation
Valve position is interpreted from pressure switches on the lines to the centrewell
valves; as the lines are only pressurised until the valve stroke is completed, the state is
latched and the position indication based on the last state detected.

7.3.7 Hawsers
Hawser data should be input based on manufacturers specifications and information.
Hawser Name, once input, will result in a file of that name being created on the hard
disk after the Apply button has been clicked.
There-after the hawser may be selected in the appropriate field.
Manufacturer, Construction, Material, Coating, and Comment fields may contain
any data or be empty, as their contents are not used in the calculation.
Fields A = and B = should not be altered from the defaults of 0.140 and 2.00
unless the OCIMF hawser life algorithm constants for the particular hawser are known
and verifiable.
Entries for New Dry Breaking Strain (NDBS) and Assumed Initial Strength (AIS)
must be input before hawser life processing can proceed and confirmed with the Apply
button.
Note: Inputing AIS allows the introduction of a used hawser
Hawser life processing is indicated by the status of Loading in Progress in the Live
Data window and starts automatically when the load on the pin exceeds 7 tonnes and
is suspended when the load has been below 7 tonnes for in excess of 5 hours.
Hawsers are installed, removed, re-installed etc. with the Fit to SPMnnn . and
Remove Hawser buttons with the appropriate hawser name in the name field.
Confirmation of operation may be obtained by cycle registration on the histogram and
by reducing indication of Residual Strength
NOTES:
Do not change data for a current hawser when Loading in Progress.
Changes of NDBS are not retrospective but will influence future calculations when
processing is active.
DISCLAIMER
Residual strength calculations are based on the empirical formula recorded by
OCIMF for Nylon Braidline hawsers. If the OCIMF test data-base load is exceeded
a warning will be displayed, the formula will, however, still be applied but the
operator should be aware of the resultant reduced accuracy of the calculations.
It should be noted that the calculated residual strength is not necessarily the
actual strength due to factors of usage that cannot be allowed for in the formula.
In general Oceantech recommend at least a 10% safety margin is input so that
subsequent results are conservative.
Please be aware, the value calculated for Residual Strength is for guidance only.

The bar graphs have configurable LoLo, Lo, Hi, and HiHi alarm limits represented by
the inverted triangles above the main bar graph. If the hawser load moves outside
these limits an alarm is generated.
To change the limits the operator must first change the access level to Supervisor.
Then by clicking on the appropriate box the alarm limit field may be entered and the
new limits typed in (see Configuration Section 7.3.10).
When the new entry is finished, click APPLY to apply and save the new values.

an ESD by clicking on the appropriate control button.
The Auto ESD functions may also Enabled and Inhibited.
The Foghorn status will change to On or Off to indicate that the command has been
received.
The Calibrate status will change to Calibrate or Normal.
The centrewell valve state will be shown as Open Closed Moving or Faulty (note
that due to the the logic associated with position detection, the status may be displayed
as Unknown immediately after the Hull RTU has been powered up and before any
valve movement.
The user may also activate an ESD; operation of this control will require confirmation.
Note that this function may have important operational considerations.

RTUs
No permanent operator controls are provided at either RTU.
Both RTUs have a serial interface to which a VT100 diagnostic terminal may be
connected. This allows I/O and other data relevant to the operation of the RTUs to
be viewed.
The interface on the Turntable RTU is accessible via a front panel mounted MILspec connector; the Hull RTU diagnostic connector is a 9 pin D type inside the
hull Exd enclosure.
Both interfaces communicate at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

7.4.1 Use Of Diagnostic Terminal


To operate the terminal with a powered-up RTU, plug the serial comms. cable into
the socket on the unit.
Turn on the terminal and press the Y key to display the main menu screen
showing pages available:
The Process Data pages show the field data, in engineering units,
The I/O Data Menu pages show the raw analogue inputs and the digital
inputs and outputs at the RTU,
Diagnostics,
Log On.
To access the display pages:
Press the up and down arrow keys to select different menu options,
Press the right arrow key to enter the selected menu page,
Press R to return to the previous menu page.
If the connected RTU is switched off, powering it on will start the terminal from the
main menu page.
When logged on, the operator has the option of Freezing/Un-freezing inputs and
outputs, from the I/O Maintenance Menu. This allows the I/O to be forced into any
state/value, for diagnostic purposes.
The default password for logging on is 43981.
The Diagnostics pages show radio comms. data; individual errors, individual
replies, mandatory reply to poll, minutes since processor reset etc.
The operator is able to force a 5 second radio transmission from the Turntable
RTU on this page to check RF power output, and antenna & feeder integrity.

Section 7 : OPERATION
7.5 : Portable Unit
7.5

PORTABLE UNIT

7.5.1 General
The portable units should have their batteries charged for approximately eight hours
prior to use.
To use the PU, open the carrying case, raise the stub antenna to vertical, and set the
ON/OFF switch to ON.
For use in low light conditions, the LCD may be back-lit for a brief, timed, period by
pressing the LEVEL + and LEVEL - buttons simultaneously.
If reception using the short stub antenna is weak (indicated by comms alarms, or
frequent comms errors as viewed on the LCD comms diagnostic screen), then a
magnetic base whip antenna (provided with the system), may be used; this has a
higher gain than the stub antenna and allows the antenna position to be varied
independantly of the PU, to improve reception.
If a PU battery alarm occurs during operation, then it is possible to continue operation
with the charger connected to the PU, and switched on.
Since the PU configuration data is in non-volatile memory, the alarm levels are retained
when the unit is powered down.
7.5.2 On power up
The LCD screen will flash and the audible alarm will sound briefly, followed by the OTS
Copyright and Memory Reset option pages being displayed.
The reset page times out if no action is taken and is replaced by the allocation page
which allows the unit to be assigned to a buoy.
To enter select mode, press CMD once.
The > prompt will be shown to the left of SELECT.
Press LEVEL + button to set the desired location (BUOY SPM130 or SPM250).
To confirm and store, press CMD again; normal operation will commence.
If new alarms are present in the system then the audible alarm will sound, one or more
alarm LEDs will flash, and the LCD will show the parameter(s) in alarm.
Pressing the AA (alarm accept) push button will silence the audible alarm and cause a
flashing alarm LED to become solidly on.

Section 7 : OPERATION
7.5 : Portable Unit
7.5.3 Command mode
On a page where commands are available (C, D, G, H, I & N):
to enter command mode press CMD once and the > prompt will be shown to the left of the first command
option,
press CMD again to access the next command option (if available),
press LEVEL + button to execute the command.
7.5.4 Alarm level setting
Press either LEVEL button to select the alarm limit page.
The parameter whose value is to be changed will have its name shown after the word
LIMIT, and its value & units shown underneath the name.
To select a different parameter, press CMD once.
The > prompt will be shown to the right of the word LIMIT.
Press LEVEL button(s) repeatedly, until the desired parameter name is displayed.
To edit the alarm level, press CMD again.
The > prompt will be shown next to the word VALUE.
Press LEVEL button(s) repeatedly until the desired alarm level is displayed.
To return to normal PU operation, press CMD again.
7.5.5 Portable Unit ESD
To initiate an ESD from the Portable Unit press the ESD and CMD buttons together.
On the ESD page C the indication SDG (sending) will appear to the right of
DEMAND to indicate that the command is being transmitted to the Turntable RTU. If
the transmission is successful the SDG indication will disappear; if the transmission is
unsuccessful, FLT will appear to the left of SDG when the latter disappears.
The ESD may be reset from the Portable Unit on page C by pressing the CMD button
to enter command mode and then pressing the LEVEL + button. The same SDG and
FLT indications apply for the ESD reset action as for ESD execution.
If an Auto ESD is initiated by loss of comms between the Buoy turntable and the Base [2]
Station, the ESD state may be reset by first disabling the Comms ESD (page D) and
then by Resetting the ESD (page C).
In this state a Comms Auto ESD will be re-initiated on subsequent loss of comms
between the Buoy turntable RTU and the Portable Unit (or the Hull RTU; loss of
comms between turntable and hull will always initiate an ESD).

MAINTENANCE

8.1

BASE STATION
The Base Station unit and MMI PC will under normal circumstances require no more
maintenance than a typical PC in a climate controlled environment.

8.2

PORTABLE UNIT
The battery alarm on the portable will indicate when the unit requires charging,
approximately 30 mins of use remain once the alarm occurs, dependant on variables:
transmissions initiated,
back light usage,
age of battery pack,
temperature.
The unit may be used while on charge.
No regular maintenance involving disassembly is required, the only reasons for which
may be:
Software upgrade by EPROM chip replacement.
Re-programming of telemetry radio.
Replacement of Nicad batteries.

8.3

TURNTABLE AND HULL EQUIPMENT


A full charged set of Hull batteries will run the unit for approximately 30 days at which
point they will need to be changed out for those on-charge in the Turntable enclosure.

The Hull RTU battery supply voltage must not be allowed to fall below
10.2V as damage to the cells is likely.
To prevent this occurring:
Warning Alarm levels for the Hull supply should be set to 11.0V and
Danger Alarm levels to 10.6V
No regular maintenance is specified for the Turntable or Hull RTUs, but the enclosure
and cable fixings should be regularly checked for integrity and corrosion.
Particular attention should be paid to the securing of the cover on the flameproof
enclosures and the integrity of any jointing compound or tape applied there-to.
The exposed sensors, mooring load pins & links, should be periodically checked for
damage, deposits, corrosion, freedom of movement, lubricant, and cable integrity.
The load cell pin and link assemblies will require frequent greasing and checks for
corrosion/fouling/wear and damage to cables.
The hull battery box should be periodically opened and the batteries inspected for
corrosion, damage, cleaning /regreasing of terminals and freedom from deposits.
Antennae should be checked for security of fixing and cable integrity.

The unit is made up of a series of die-cast sections fastened together using
M10 stainless steel bolts with either an O ring or gasket seal placed
between mating surfaces. A three coat stoving system gives protection
against the effect of a saliferous environment.
This fog signal is of modular construction comprising three main emitter units
assembled to form a stacked array.
Each emitter is fitted with a pressure unit mounted on an O ring above a
flame trap and amplifier trumpets. The assembly is enclosed in an explosion
proof cover into which approved terminal busings are fitted.
The fog signal is operated by a pulsed medium frequency ac. signal supplied
in phase to each sound emitter, from the FSSA-660 Controller.

Fog signal operation is by way of a pulsed medium frequency a.c. signal
supplied in phase to each sound emitter - pre-programmed to give the
required character. The three main fog signals are operated in unison.
All remaining electronic components such as the main and secondary
coder/oscillators and inverters, are housed within the control cubicle.

2.2. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

LIEX Location
The fog signal should be mounted on a rigid horizontal surface. In view of the
omni-directional characteristics of this type of fog signal, it should be sited
clear of any major obstructions in order to avoid interfering with the polar
sound pattern and the likelihood of creating anti-phase reflections.
Under general conditions these units are free-standing and self supporting,
but in situations where heavy machinery or high winds are likely to cause fog
signal motion additional bracing should be considered. Access to inspection
covers during routine service and maintenance must also be taken into
account when siting the unit. Four base flange mounting holes are provided,
arranged equally distant on a 280mm pitch circle diameter, designed to
accommodate type M10 bolts (see Figure 2-3).

The electrical connections between the FSSA-660 and the LIEX are detailed
in Figure 2-5.
NOTE

It is ESSENTIAL that the Green lead from the FSSA-660 is


connected to the Black terminal on the respective Emitter, whilst
the Yellow lead from the FSSA-660 is connected to the Emitters
Red terminal. This ensures the correct phasing on all Emitters.

2.4. EMITTER UNIT CONNECTION
Cable entry to each of the separate Emitter Units is via BASEEFA approved
20mm cable gland (see Figure 2-6), with the cables being terminated at
stand-off spade terminals located at the side of the pressure unit housing.
These are secured in place using explosion proof bushings. Should cable
length be such that there is a need for heavy duty cables, the cables must be
terminated at an explosion proof junction box, suitable for use in hazardous
areas and mounted close to the fog signal. Intermediate cables must be
used to connect the fog signal to the junction box.

3. MAINTENANCE
3.1.

GENERAL
The LIEX fog signal has been designed to operate with a minimum of
maintenance, a periodic check of the trumpet throat opening should be
made, and any obstructions removed.
An annual inspection of the fog signal housing cover seal should also be
made, and checked for the entry of moisture. Where the seals are found
suspect, they must be replaced.
NOTE

Suitable ear protection must be worn when working in the vicinity of


the fog signals under operational conditions. Before removing fog
signal inspection covers, isolate the electrical supply at the control
cubicle. In order that the maximum efficiency of the fog signal is
obtained, make certain that the correct polarity is observed when
connecting cables.

5.

Raise the pressure unit and lift clear. Where conditions are exposed,
temporarily replace the emitter housing cover. Take care not to disturb the
'O' ring seal beneath the pressure unit base plate.
To replace the pressure unit, make certain the O ring seal is seated
correctly, and install the pressure unit with the domed acoustic diaphragm
in a downward direction, The pressure unit is seated into a recess with
clearance holes for both the screws and fly-lead. Make certain the unit is
seated correctly, and the fly-lead connections re not trapped.

6.

Continue re-assembly in the reverse order to the removal procedure


already described taking care to observe the correct polarity of all cable
connections.

NOTE

When checking the continuity of the pressure emitter coil, the


presence of the capacitor C4 will isolate the winding of the choke L2
from the reading. Therefore, it is not necessary to disconnect the
choke circuits (2.5 to 3.2 Ohm).
